campaign releases???

2. this is for expenditures . . .

So assume it means these scumbags had to pay the news wire service to push their lies.

What is interesting in the expenditures is you can see all the people who benefited from the liars. These people should be shamed for having anything to do with them.

4. Page 4 has "P.R. Newswire," Kerry releases are from "U.S. Newswire"

7. here ya go on the Doc

http://touchngo.com/sp/html/sp-4038.htm

seems he had a little court trouble

This Doctor seems to have some problems with workman's comp fraud and maybe some ties to right-wing militia nuts, I'm still digging. This is the guy who needs to be looked at closely.

5. It's time to get on their asses - investigate every single one of them

If anyone who donated to this campaign has a single skeleton in their closet, it needs to be exposed.

They all need to pay for what they are doing to American veterans with these attacks!

8. The document is out of date, but is a start. NYTimes has some more info

Here are some more trails to follow, gleaned from the New York Times front page article of Aug. 20th: "Friendly Fire":

O'Neill, chief spokesperson: represented powerful Texas Republicans, including Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.

Bob J. Perry, top donor, $200,000 to SBVFT, donated $46,000 to Bush's governor campaign in 1994 and 1998. In 2002, he donated nearly $4 million to Texas candidates and political committees.

Rove said Perry and he were long times friends since 1986, though he has not spoken to him for at least a year. O'Neill has known Perry for 30 years.

Mr. Crow has donated almost as much to SBVFT as Perry. He is a trustee of the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation. His family owns Trammell Crow, the real estate giant. Crow's law partner, Margaret Wilson is deputy counsel for Bush's Dept. of Commerce.

Merrie Spaeth was spokeswoman for the smear group that ran $2 million in ads attacking McCain in 2000 (self-styled Republicans for Clean Air, founded by prominent Texas Bush supporter, Sam Wyly). She admitted Kenneth Starr gave her a White House tour in 2002, but denied a 2003 visit until reminded. She was married to Tex Lezar, deceased, who ran as Bush's Lt. Gov. in 1994, also a Yaley.

Spaeth ran "indoctrination" sessions with 10 veterans in her Dallas office in April 2004. They hired an investigator who conducted interviews and then tried to get other vets to sign drastically one-sided edit transcripts. Spaeth was paid at least $16,000 for consulting to the group.

The SBVFT ad agency Stevens Reed Curcio & Potholm made the "tank" ad mocking Dukakis in 1988 (in Bush Sr's favor).
